about.

when ozzy was nine her parents divorced and her father won primary custody of their two children as her mother was much younger and still in college.

shortly after, her father moved them to shrike heights, where he had been born and raised, and it became almost impossible to see her mother more than a couple of times a year.

ozzy always envied the happy families she saw on tv, and when she was thirteen and her father was remarrying she thought she might finally find herself in one of them.

unfortunately more disappointment came when her step sibling seemed to be quite opposed to their new family. 

still craving all ozzy felt she was meant to get from a family, she began seeking it elsewhere, spending most of her time away from her home trying to find connection, support and love.

her naivety had her trusting the first group of people who were willing to take her in. this group of friends were able to promise all she needed and more, but it wasn’t as perfect as ozzy was made to believe.

truthfully ozzy fell into a bad crowd, but she became dependent on them for the friendship they provided her and she convinced herself that they were worth all of the trouble.

as time went on things got worse. ozzy stayed her naive self, and her friends quickly learnt how to abuse that. she wasn’t strong enough to stand up for herself and she didn’t have the support to allow her to grow into anyone stronger.

at first there were more pros than there were cons, but it eventually got to the point where she was in too deep and it allowed them to take everything from her until she was as good as a sentient punching bag. 

they messed with her mentally and physically until the serious threat of the shrike attacks occupied their time more than what she could. ozzy took this chance to flee, but it was still hard losing all of her friends no matter how awful the group were to each other and to ozzy in particular.

now all she can do it try to rebuild herself, try to take back all that was taken from her, try to learn to trust again, and maybe even give her family another shot after giving up on them so quickly after the cold reception from her step family.

about.

born and raised in mexico.

for the most part she lived a very ordinary life - though she always did whatever she could to change that. 

veronica was lucky to have a family, and place to call home and food to fill her with energy every day. 

none of those things were perfect, but they were present enough to give veronica the time to start to stir.

she was always on the hunt for adventure, excitement and extravagance. from a young age she was always disappearing for days at a time and coming back with new stories, friends and skills.

she didn’t do well in school, but the music program gave her incentive to work hard enough to maintain at least average grades so she could stay in the program.

she wasn’t necessarily well liked as she was so high energy and so chaotic, but she always had a group of friends - old and new, ever changing, ever growing - trailing behind her. 

after graduating school she struggled trying to figure out what she wanted to do with her life. veronica bounced from job to job, idea to idea, but never settled on one thing in particular. 

much like her group of friends, veronica’s life was ever changing and ever growing.

by the time she was twenty-two, she felt she had exhausted every option in and around her hometown. 

thankfully this was when she met and fell so deeply in love with a girl who took her away from her hometown.

this girl was only visiting for a summer, and after the summer when she returned home to shrike heights - so did veronica.

veronica didn’t think twice about the move. she packed her bags and followed her lover to the small town she had never heard of, ready for adventure, excitement, serious companionship. 

unfortunately this move came on much too strong, and it was realised that the summer fling was only ever going to work as just that. veronica had her heart broken.

despite the heartbreak, veronica decided to stay. she found excitement in the new town and she enjoyed watching it grow. 

because it was a new environment she found enough in it to busy herself and save herself from dwelling on her pain. 

once the mall was built, veronica applied to almost every store and ended with three jobs to work to save herself from dwelling on the pain.

with the addition of the killers and the crimes - which veronica is yet to take seriously or be affected by - she has enough to focus on outside of her heartbreak. she’s moved on (for the most part).

full name: glenda jacqueline adams

about.

born and raised in denver, that’s where glenda spent her upbringing.

the closure of her father’s workplace saw the family move. family led them to a town near shrike heights, a job opportunity led them to moving to shrike heights officially soon after. 

her family has always strived for success, her mother a doctor, her father a lawyer. they worked hard and got ‘respectable’ jobs so that they could live a comfortable lifestyle. 

glenda’s four sisters grew up acting equally as respectable, how they presented being important to the family, but glenda always felt like a bit of a black sheep in the family. 

she typically tried to behave as well as possible, wanting to please her family who tried to build a good reputation and life for themselves, but she always felt a little rougher around her edges.

glenda got in trouble more than any of her siblings, and was more combative than any of the others, but still, she was loved by her family and she loved them.

her sisters grew up to work in similar fields as their parents, going into accounting, nursing, etc., but glenda couldn’t ever commit herself to something that required that much dedication and smarts. 

unlike her sisters, she skipped college at first, working retail jobs after graduation, but she still had the desire to please her family and to fit in so she found what she thought was the easiest yet still ‘respectable’ job she could. 

she became a teacher at shrike high in her mid-twenties, and she actually really loved the job. she worked as an english teacher, and here she figured out how much she loved providing for others and caring for them. 

she was dedicated to her students, maybe more than she was dedicated to actually teaching them their english or literature work, and even while still being a bit of a black sheep, she was able to remain on good terms with them all by making them proud.

when the attacks started in shrike heights, glenda grew terrified of what might happen - to her students especially. always prone to mental health issues, glenda worried the stress would cause irreparable damage, and she found herself having to leave her job as a teacher - at least for now. 

she left teaching hastily, with no backup plan for how she could support herself, and while she’s not too fond of the idea of working in the mall, where most attacks take place, she had to make rent somehow.

full name: celia emmeline thomas

about.

born and raised in shrike heights.

was always more comfortable with solitude, but still had friends and spent time with them regardless.

she didn’t have many close friends, however, as she was always known for being scattered and unreliable. good intentioned but with the habit of blowing off plans or simply forgetting about them. 

she did okay in school, but was often in detention due to slacking off. she struggled to apply herself to everything.

did best in creative fields, excelling in art class, doing well in textiles, earning high grades for creative writing. she would have had no interest in school if she didn’t have those.

as she grew older her head only got further in the clouds, but she learnt to prioritise other people too so that she didn’t completely miss out on the connections and relationships she wanted and needed.

she got into a stable relationship in high school, and that took priority above all else for a long time, though she was lucky that her boyfriend supported her head-in-the-clouds ways and her passions.

celia was so happy for so many years, until her senior year brought her strife in the form of having to prepare for the future. celia wanted to pursue one of her many creative interests, but she didn’t know which exactly as her interests were always so scattered (she would have phases of being obsessed with one thing over another, and would drop interests quickly for the next).

with the decision being so hard, she eventually settled with pursuing nothing. she graduated high school, got engaged, and she was excited for her future until she realised there was a gaping hole in the form of her dreams that she had never allowed herself to follow.

her passion for artistry and creativity was stronger than anything else, it had never been the right move to give up, but it was the hardest thing trying to figure out how to pursue her dreams when she had promised her now fiance a life there in shrike heights. 

after a period of instability and deep sadness related to her longing, celia finally broke off the engagement and went to college to pursue her dreams. 

nothing was well thought through, however, as the pain and the struggle relating to having to break off the engagement clouded her judgement and her ability to prepare for the goal she was going off to hopefully achieve. she ended up trying so many things at college, going down many different avenues, but not succeeding or completing anything. 

everything had been a big mistake; she would have preferred to deal with her restlessness and longing forever rather than doing what she had done and that only resulting in... well, nothing.

she tried to scramble to save herself and the situation for some time, but when she heard of the horrors unfolding back home in shrike heights it finally saw her admitting defeat, packing her bags and going back.
